Hi!
I have tagged a new version of Pachi, mainly since I need a current
reference point right now. The user visible changes since the last
version include more user-friendly interface (e.g. implicit clear_board
on boardsize) and few new techniques mainly by Jean-loup (e.g. linear
dynamic komi, virtual wins, RAVE history order weighing). Also, the
default parameters are even better tuned thanks to Jean-loup.
There is not much active development going on right now since we are
both exhausted by our work on the Pachi paper (http://pasky.or.cz/go/)
and busy with other things. My personal focus now will be fixing large
and obvious flaws found by the jlg's regression suite, e.g. the ladder
problems.
Happy playing,
Petr "Pasky" Baudis
